"motorized" pedicabs/kuligligs on the rise! [MERGED]

[shakatak70]

sorry double post

[jave]

No extension, no mercy.

Even if you show some mercy and extend the deadline, it's obvious there will be no remorse on the side of these shameless idiots, no sense of understanding that the reason why the ban took place is due to their stupid behavior and reckless antics.

Chances are, they will still be the ones to be angry and crying foul at being deprived of their livelihood.

With that said, I sincerely doubt any long-lasting results would be achieved. Alam mo naman dito sa 'pinas. Leaders would always choose to do the popular option, instead of the right choice.

[SIZE="5"]Manila defers ban on pedicabs[/SIZE]

MANILA, Philippines - In the spirit of the holiday season, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim deferred banning “kuligligs” or motorized pedicabs from the major roads in the city.

In a statement, Lim said he moved the ban from October to December. The ban is in compliance with Republic Act 8749, the Clean Air Act, Lim said, adding that motorists have been blaming these vehicles for the congestion in certain parts of Manila.

However, the mayor’s chief of staff, Ric de Guzman, said that even if the total ban would still take effect after four-months, they would already impose limitations on their routes.

According to Lim’s Executive Order 17, the kuligligs are prohibited from passing through major roads, particularly United Nations Avenue, AH Lacson street, Quirino Avenue, Osmeña Highway, Quezon Boulevard, C.M. Recto Avenue, Legarda street, Rizal Avenue and Jose Abad Santos Avenue.

By next year, only motorized pedicabs and tricycles registered with the Land Transportation Office would be allowed to ply their routes on side streets.

Those who would violate this law would be slapped with a P500 fine for the first and second offenses. A third violation would merit the impounding of the vehicle.

I suggest the mayor to shape up, a deadline is a deadline, he's a no nonsense cop before and should instill what is to the better of the common good. Let these operators cry foul, mauubusan din ng mga laway ito sa kakaprotesta. So much kuligligs on the streets that contribute to the worsening traffic due to their driving techniques.

Ang sweet sweet nga!

Cguro next year na ipapatupad yan. o baka makalimutan na lang tulad ng ZTE.

[roydok]

Ningas Cogon lang si Mayor Lim...

Son of a bitch! Really? If these vehicles are to be registered with the LTO, then these drivers should also be licensed. The safety issues arising from the use of these "vehicles" and the liabilities therein are just too much.

For fun we should build motorized couches. If it was only worth the time, we should sue these things off the road.

"By next year, only motorized pedicabs and tricycles registered with the Land Transportation Office would be allowed to ply their routes on side streets."

What the hell is this? Is it legal or not? Is it safe or not? Is it emissions-compliant or not?

I thought they'll ban it?

Well, knowing Mayor Lim.

[shotgun]

i agree if they are to be registered then they should follow road rules and regulations. they should also be subject to road tax and licensing from ltfrb.

just the other day, i saw a motorized being driven by a kid no more than 14 years old. wtf!?!

[Monseratto]

Any half wit kanto boy can drive those road hazards. No education required since to hell with traffic regulations. And knowing how things are in this country, they can get away with it.

[ghosthunter]

Well, knowing Mayor Lim.

Ako din... I thought it was an outright ban.

But registration would generate more money for the "government"... obvious reason why not to do an outright ban.

[EVO-V]

We should put up a petition and compel the city of Manila to clarify its position.

Sir, kahit naman yung mga "registered" sa LTO at LTFRB eh hindi sumusonod sa road rules and regulations, kahit ung ibang private vehicles. Hehehe!

Malamang yung 14 years old na yun eh umiextra lang. Kung iisyuhan man nila ang mga ito ng lisensya sa pagmamaneho, eh parang nagdagdagan lang ang mga mokong sa kalye, kaya wag na lang kung hindi rin lang nila kayang ayusin ang pagbigay ng lisensya.

Ako din... I thought it was an outright ban.

More money for the government. More money to corrupt. Hindi pa pinag-uusapan dito yung environmental implications ng mga sasakyan na ito. Hindi pa kasama yung road safety ng mga ito.

Parang kapag dadagdagan mo ang pera ng "gobyerno" eh parang dinadagdagan mo rin yung mga mokong sa kalye. Directly proportional ba.

We should put up a petition and compel the city of Manila to clarify its position.

Can we? If we can then let's go!

Ang bait-bait talaga ni mayor. Sana kunin na siya ni LORD.

Sad to say, I've long lost all respect for this once "respectable" cop turned politician.

Habang tumatanda yata talaga ang isang tao, lalong lumalambot ang puso para sa mga maling kadahilanan.

I still remember ex-VP Teofisto Guingona, another Jurassic personality, calling for a postponement of the demolition of illegal squatter settlement in New Manila just last August.

NO POLITICAL WILL AT ALL. Saan yung "The law applies to all, or none at all" niyang slogan?

[Monseratto]

Even Erap kicked him out of the opposition because of his balimbing stance during EDSA 2. Tapos yung kaso pa ng anak ni Lim na druggie, which suspiciously nawalng sala yung kaso. Ngayon yung tantrum niya afer lumabas yung finding IIRC.

[pangaraplangba]

nabiktima na ko one time ng isa sa mga yan. alam niyo yung sa harap ng quiapo yung kapag diniretso papuntang south pier sa may kaliwa eh one way na paakyat ng tulay tapos sa kanan naman eh papuntang carriedo o pwede ka ding mag u-turn sa ilalim ng tulay pabalik ng quiapo papuntang recto dun sa mga tindahan ng mga native filipino products tulad ng mga basket, duyan, mga gamit na gawa sa abaka yung mga ganun. ang siste ito nangyari sa akin, kapag paakyat ka na sa tulay na yun medyo traffic dun para sa mga kakanan o yung mga papuntang carriedo at hindi aakyat ng tulay sa harap yata ng mercury drug yun. dun sa part na yun napakadaming kuliglig. pakanan na ko dun biruin mo biglang may sumulpot na napakabilis na kuliglig at ewan ko ano nasa isip nun balak yatang banggain mga naka momentum na sasakyan paakyat ng tulay at mga kakanan papuntang carriedo. todo predo ko at nagkasira sira yata mags ko nun dahil pagpreno ko umabot ako sa part na yung may mga nakaumbok na bakal sa kalsada na may mga reflector. imagine mo pumreno ka bigla sa part na yun at ang kuliglig dedma lang at nag uturn na lang pabalik. sana tanggalin na yang mga kuliglig na yan sa kalsada.
